Here are some pics of a mini-rack that I built. Specifically for hatchlings. I may sell this one at the TARAS show this weekend, not sure yet:

The electrical is well concealed, as is the dimmer. Kind of a nice little feature.

That's a single piece of 11" heat tape on the back, to give you an idea of the small scale. I think the whole rack is 16" tall, and only about 20" long. It was fun to build, and cheap too - I think in total it uses half a sheet of melamine. The electrical was more expensive than the structural.

Thanks for looking.

Looks good! :)

Are you planning to insulate the back?

Very nice job Ken. I dont think you should sell it but fill it with even more snakes. Im sure you will support that idea.

Oh, it's full right now. But I can use the profits to, I dunno... pay Cranny for the heat tape! lol

Cranny, yes, the back will be insulated, I'm thinking with pegboard so it can "breathe" a little.

Looks great, well done! One question though, how are the top 3 tubs heated?

Oh sorry, i see now. Looked like the flexwatt was only behind the 2 bottom shelves, but now i see that it is actually about half way up the top shelf too. Take care.
